Ok so now I've added a rewrites.js file to my Couchapp root folder. In this
js file I have...
[
{
"method": "GET",
"from": "/home",
"to": "app/index.html",
}
]
Now when I push the Couchapp, in CouchDB in my _design/rednecks I see it's
creating a "rewrites" property with the above js. So this looks all good to
me. This is how to do this right?
I changed my local.ini vhost to...
[vhosts]
rnr.couchdb:5984 = /rednecks/_design/rednecks
In Chrome I enter url...
http://rnr.couchdb:5984/home
I get same error...
{"error":"not_found","reason":"Document is missing attachment"}
That index.html attachment is absolutely there. I can see it. The app
runs fine if I disable this rewrite garbage. I've tried every
variation of the "to" string that I can think of and all I see is that
same error above.
Does _anyone_ know how to do this?!?!?!....
